John Lennon (kerry.senate.gov -- Kerry standing with John Lennon)Remembering Lennon
25 years ago today, former Beatle John Lennon was shot in outside of the Dakota. We speak with Rolling Stone writer Mikal Gilmore about Lennon's music and legacy. We'll also speak with the filmmaker John Waters. Famous for his films "Pink Flamingos," "Cry Baby" and "Hairspray," he's also an active collector of Christmas albums, and he's put together a collection of his favorite, off-beat Christmas songs. And the city's scene for dance: we'll look at the contesting NYC's cabaret laws and learn about new versions of the Nutcracker.
